3只值得投資並忘記的股息股票以獲得相對安全的被動收入

交易者因資產波動而繁榮，無論是股票還是比特幣和山寨幣。但是那些想要避免這種日常焦慮和不可預測性的人呢？

Traders rely on asset price volatility for gains, be it in stocks or Bitcoin and altcoins. But what about those who want to avoid the daily anxiety and unpredictability? This is where the invest-and-forget approach can come in handy, especially when considering dividend stocks.

交易者依靠資產價格波動來獲取收益，無論是股票或比特幣和山寨幣。但是那些想要避免日常焦慮和不可預測性的人呢？這就是「投資後忘記」方法可以派上用場的地方，特別是在考慮股息股票時。

However, not just any dividend stock will do the trick. Investors must be confident that they can “forget” about these stocks after investing, which translates to companies with unique competitive advantages that are unlikely to be disrupted. At the same time, their dividend yields have to be high to outpace the inflation rate.

然而，並不是任何股息股票都能起到作用。投資人必須相信，他們在投資後可以「忘記」這些股票，這意味著公司擁有獨特的競爭優勢，不太可能被顛覆。同時，它們的股息殖利率必須很高才能超過通貨膨脹率。

These three dividend stocks fit the bill for investors who value relatively safe passive income over the long haul.

這三隻股息股票適合長期重視相對安全的被動收入的投資者。

Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: ENB) – 6.03% dividend yield

安橋公司（NYSE：ENB）－股息收益率 6.03%

This pipeline infrastructure company headquartered in Canada has paid shareholders dividends for nearly 70 years. Over the last 29 years, Enbridge has grown its dividend at an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%, making it a dividend aristocrat stock.

這家總部位於加拿大的管道基礎設施公司已向股東派息近70年。在過去 29 年裡，安橋的股息以 10% 的平均複合年增長率 (CAGR) 增長，使其成為股息貴族股票。

It is safe to say that Enbridge is a critical cog in modern civilization, as the company maintains a vast network of crude oil/natural gas pipelines across North America. In turn, this business model yields predictable cash flows. So much so that in 2023, Enbridge acquired three US gas utilities to further solidify its market position.

可以肯定地說，安橋是現代文明的關鍵齒輪，因為該公司在北美擁有龐大的原油/天然氣管道網路。反過來，這種商業模式會產生可預測的現金流。以至於2023年，安橋收購了三家美國天然氣公用事業公司，以進一步鞏固其市場地位。

Enbridge announced another 3% common share dividend increase in early December, from an annualized $3.66 to $3.77 per share, which goes into effect on March 1st, 2025. Likewise, the company projected $19.4 – $20 billion EBITDA guidance for 2025, compared to reaffirmed $18.3 billion for 2024.

Enbridge 於12 月初宣布將普通股股息再次上調3%，從年化每股3.66 美元增至3.77 美元，該政策於2025 年3 月1 日生效。億美元，而重申的為18.3 美元2024 年為 10 億。

On February 14th, Enbridge is scheduled to report its Q4 2024 earnings. In November’s Q3 report, the company announced the completion of all planned US utilities, such as PSNC, and acquired a 15% interest in the DBR gas system to bolster growth.

安橋計劃於 2 月 14 日公佈 2024 年第四季財報。在11月的第三季報告中，該公司宣布完成PSNC等所有計劃的美國公用事業項目，並收購了DBR天然氣系統15%的權益以促進成長。

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) – 7.07% dividend yield

Verizon Communications Inc.（NYSE：VZ）－股息殖利率 7.07%

Besides the distribution of energy, another layer for modern civilization to function is telecommunication infrastructure. Verizon fulfills this role as an almost dividend aristocrat stock. The “almost” part should be removed within a year. Reminder: dividend aristocrat stocks have to increase their dividend payouts consecutively for 25 years.

除了能源分配之外，現代文明發揮作用的另一個層面是電信基礎設施。 Verizon 作為一隻近乎股息貴族的股票履行了這一角色。 「幾乎」的部分應該在一年內刪除。提醒：股息貴族股必須連續25年增加股利。

Relative to competitors in the communications services sector, Verizon holds 11.53% market share, neck and neck with AT&T at 11.89%, while Comcast is trailing at 10.39%. In October 2024, Verizon made a big move in expansion by acquiring Frontier Communications for $20 billion, at $38.50 per share in cash. This was to further broaden Verizon’s fiber-optic internet footprint, alongside wireless.

與通訊服務領域的競爭對手相比，Verizon 擁有 11.53% 的市場份額，與 AT&T 的 11.89% 並駕齊驅，而康卡斯特則以 10.39% 的市場份額落後。 2024 年 10 月，Verizon 採取了重大擴張舉措，以 200 億美元（每股 38.50 美元現金）收購了 Frontier Communications。這是為了進一步擴大 Verizon 的光纖網路覆蓋範圍以及無線網路覆蓋範圍。

That month, Verizon released its latest Q3 2024 earnings showing relatively flat $33.3 billion revenue, while increasing wireless service revenue year-over-year.

當月，Verizon 發布了最新的 2024 年第三季財報，顯示營收相對持平，為 333 億美元，但無線服務收入較去年同期成長。

Verizon ended the quarter with a $14.5 billion free cash flow, leaving the telecom giant with a 2.5x debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. Moving forward, the company aims to cut costs, expand 5G Ultra Wideband and utilize AI technology to remove unnecessary expenditures.

Verizon 本季末的自由現金流為 145 億美元，這使得這家電信巨頭的債務與調整後 EBITDA 比率達到了 2.5 倍。展望未來，該公司的目標是削減成本、擴展5G超寬頻並利用人工智慧技術消除不必要的支出。

Verizon’s annual dividend payout per share is $2.71. At present, VZ stock is priced at relatively cheap below the 52-week average of $41.17 per share. Verizon’s next earnings report is scheduled for January 24th.

Verizon 的年度每股股息支付為 2.71 美元。目前，VZ 股票價格相對便宜，低於 41.17 美元/股的 52 週平均值。 Verizon 的下一份收益報告定於 1 月 24 日發布。

Ares Capital Corporation (NYSE: ARCC) – 8.35% dividend yield

Ares Capital Corporation（NYSE：ARCC）－股息殖利率 8.35%

Next to energy and telecommunications, what do businesses need to grow? Finance. This is where Ares Capital comes in with direct lending to middle-market companies. Ares doesn’t issue new shares to raise lending capital, making it a closed-ended specialty finance firm.

除了能源和電信之外，企業還需要什麼來發展？金融。這就是阿瑞斯資本（Ares Capital）直接向中間市場公司貸款的切入點。 Ares 不發行新股來籌集借貸資金，這使其成為一家封閉式專業金融公司。

Rather, Ares generates cash flows from paid interest and dividends from its own investments. In other words, exposure to Ares is equal to exposure to a broad spectrum of reputable companies across different sectors, from IT and health care to insurance, retail, media and energy infrastructure.

相反，Ares 透過其自身投資支付的利息和股息產生現金流。換句話說，投資 Ares 等於投資不同產業的眾多知名公司，從 IT 和醫療保健到保險、零售、媒體和能源基礎設施。

In November, Ares released its Q3 2024 earnings report, showing a 13% annualized shareholder return. This significantly outperforms the S&P 500 index as well as the big players in the banking sector.

11月，Ares發布了2024年第三季財報，顯示年化股東報酬率為13%。這明顯優於標準普爾 500 指數以及銀行業的大型企業。

As of September 2024, Ares holds $5.8 billion in available liquidity, which is 1.6x greater than its unfunded investment commitments. Against its BDC (Business Development Company) peers

截至 2024 年 9 月，Ares 持有 58 億美元的可用流動資金，是其無資金投資承諾的 1.6 倍。與 BDC（業務發展公司）同業相比
